“Peace is achieved by those who fulfill their part of a greater plan. Peace and security are attained by those societies where the individuals work closely to serve the common good of the whole.” -from the Universal Peace Covenant
Peace Ambassadors from the United States gather at the Peace Dome to grow wisdom of the heart and vision of the mind. Join them as they share their learning, discoveries, and plans.
I am having a very real experience of the peace that comes from connectedness and the joy that comes through creating together.
Peace is what I experience with a still mind and open heart when connecting with God , through everyone and everything I encounter with with the intention of giving and receiving love. I believe in the joyous connection that is in all things created .Self in a state of living peace is a self realized being.May peace be with you all in all ways.
I remember how I began my peace movement when I listened to Amy present her peace experience in China. It was 1970. I was sitting in the student union at the College of Wooster, in Ohio. A student came in from Kent State (30 miles away) and announced that 4 students had been killed protesting the War in Viet Nam. Immediately we closed the school and participated in a march downtown in Wooster. We then proceeded to march on Washington D.C. Millions of students across the USA joined in. When I thought of this event, it was like Betty Williams in Ireland, where one event created a massive movement. Then, I thought of Amy’s being in Tianomen square and the 3,000 that were killed there in 1989. The feeling was resonant within me and formed a completion of my ongoing commitment to bring peace to the world. The change always begins within me.
I am feeling very connected with all attending the peace conference at The School of Metaphysics headquarters during this special weekend of higher learning and the understanding of consciousness. What I understand is the importance of thoughts and work that is created from this school about peace within myself, what I have to offer others in the world, and the responsibility I have being an American to do this.
During meditation in the Peace Dome this morning I chose to meditate from the Universal Peace Covenant: “We affirm that peace is an idea whose time has come. We call upon each family to generate and nurture peace within the home.” My ideal is to be a healer with wisdom, through experiences of the Universal Laws. My purpose is to learn to focus each day on a particular law and utililze it with continuity. My goal today was to experience what it means to be a peace ambassador, and to focus today on the Universal Law of Attraction.
While working in the garden, someone asked for a volunteer to help wash greens and I volunteered. We were talking and sharing experiences and the person with whom I was talking indicated that her mission in being a student at the College of Metaphysical was to “heal families”…..!!! Also, immediately following that conversation, someone else needed some help with washing vegetables,, so I pitched in and we discussed the “healing” efeects of vegetables. Wow!!!
This stuff WORKS!!!
This just in…Communism is not eveil…peace is an idea whose time has come.
The lines of the Universal Peace Covenant are alive today. They are alive in me and alive in the space we are all creating together today. A great JOY fills me as I interact with all of the other Peace Ambassadors and join in the common creation. What a wonderful gathering of spirits this weekend.
“For peace to move across the face of the earth we must realize, as the great philosophers and leaders before us, that all people desire peace. We hereby acknowledge this truth that is universal. Now humanity must desire those things that make for peace.”
Peace and Blessings. In the month of preparations for coming here, my mind and body emptied themselves as i sat in still mind observing the process and knowing of the Wisdom i was to receive. The road led me here through a series of synchronistic events; and when i was here, i was invited by a raging thunderstorm that caused the lights to flicker as Dr. Barbara inspired us. As i left to make my way to bed, I was kissed by the orange moon on the horizon. I must be doing something right….So here I am, observing the emotions welling up from within. Emotions of memories that i never knew i had.
It is heart warming to be with these beautiful light spirits; divine friends who have walked with me all this time. They have helped me to remember…PEACE & LOVE
“Peace is active, the motion of silence, of faith, of accord, of service. “
That is a beautiful awareness. I have thought of that before, “these people were here the whole time.” I have come to appreciate the timing of life’s experiences. I rejoice with you! It is beautiful to see the maturity that enables us to match our consciousness with others. It comes from the work of the past that leads us to the present which allows experiences like this to come to fruition.
Peace be with us All ways.
While we were laying tiles in the lower level of the Peace Dome after the Prayer Service for the Waters of the Planet, I approached Amy Pawlus. Amy had spoken about her trip to China the night before. One experience she had described was her visit to Tienaman Square, and that she had picked up a small stone in the floor of the square while there. “I don’t know why, but I know we’re supposed to have it,” she had said. During the service there had been several stones brought as gifts for the wall, and Dr. Barbaras Condron had said, “We want stones that want to be on the Healing Wall.” With this in mind, I leaned over to Amy and whispered, “Does the rock from Tienaman Square want to be on the Healing Wall?” She answered again, “I don’t know. Would you like to hold it? ” I answered, “Yes.” and we proceeded to Tad Messenger, the keeper and organizer of the rocks for the Healing Wall. We entered the room housing the stones for the healing wall and Tad opened the box of stones that had just been given for the wall in the ceremony. He reached in and brought out a small red bag and handed it to me. I opened it and there was a small rectangular greenish gray rock wrapped in a piece of turquoise silky cloth. I carefully unrolled the rock from its blanket and cradled it in my hands. As I stilled my mind and settled my attention on the rock I began to experience a quietness, a still and steady emanation of healing, as if the stone was endeavoring to heal the area where it had come from, or was this a message to me or anyone who held the rock to send healing there. I was touched deeply by its quiet message and the experience and am still processing it. This was a beautiful climax to an incredible experience at the Healing Wall this evening: Healing the Gulf of Mexico with Dr. Emoto’s prayer, hearing more about the meaning of the Conscious Convergence occuring this weekend, hearing the wonderful stories behind the stones being given to the Healing Wall and Dr. Barbara’s beautiful message of history being made this evening. I am reminded of the greatness I live with here at the headquarters of the School of Metaphysics, whether it is a stone thousands of years old, a letter from Mother Teresa and King Hussein supporting the Universal Hour of Peace, the Peace Dome and Healing Wall, or the living treasures, the wise sages who grace this campus. Thank you. I love you.
I appreciated introducing people to our peaceful orchard, where the Peace Dome is, and hearing what they learned. Especially about abundance and finding the good in all, which is the same as receiving neutrally and putting things to their best use.
Amy Pawlus presentation on her recent experience in China set the stage for a weekend with profound learning experiences. Each activity, conversation, interaction or thought I had this weekend brought me a step closer to knowing my inner-peace. The prayer service to heal the waters of the planet, specially the Gulf of Mexico was meaningful and touching. Because of what we have done as a collective group this weekend, I know that as an individual and a Peace Ambassador I can start taking steps to fulfill my part of a greater plan. Peace, Gratitude, Love & Light!
I have had an amazing time here at the College of Metaphysics! At the healing wall I was the first Peace Ambassador to put my hand on the wall to pray for the oceans, and my hand was touching the Gulf of Mexico. The energy resonating from the wall was very powerful, then when the prayers were directed to the Gulf, I was filled with love and awe as I felt all the thoughts, love, and appreciation flowing from the crowd behind me, through my hand and into the Gulf. It was an honor to be in that position!
The experience at the peace dome during this weekends peace confrence with the peace ambassadors has been great. The prayer for water experienced took me in to a place of spiritual alignment and truth I had not experienced before . I knew of the presence of spirit ,an audiance watching us as we set the intention with prayer for peace and love and the action of asking forgiveness in the great waters and sea habitat for the world. The vibration I felt was like that of total truth of existance for me. I was amazed and grateful to see the spirits join and hear our prayers
This peace conference has provided me two unexpected experiences. The first was the many profoundly connected relationships I have shared innitiation with, here this weekend. The depth of our trust in creating together this weekend has been amazing. Secondly, there is a personal peace I received within that is expressing itself as pure joy. Joy is that propelling experience that motivates me to experience this over and over. I send the energy of love and gratitude to everyone her desiring to raise the consciousness of all..
My ideal this Peace Conference is concentration on peace and holiness. My purpose is spiritual maturity. The weekend experience is coming to an end, friends are hugging goodbye, until we meet again in this physical time and space. Therefore, I’m reflecting on who I am right now and who I was before the conference. I was inconsistent in my state of mind and weak in my will to uphold a peaceful ideal. I live at the College of Metaphysics, therefore I have been behind the scenes supporting the ambasssadors. This calls for a stronger use of my will. I know that my role in supporting the ambassadors is mental. I know that my comittment to a peaceful state of mind is what sets the stage for our visitors to fulfill their peacful assignments, as (for the most part) I am not working directly with them. In seeing myself, who I am now, I see that I am more grown. I am more aligned heart and mind with my creator, and I have a rich purpose for being concentrated within my ideal. I am a server. I am evolving in sincerity and in light. My teacher, Dr. Barbara, told me last night after I served in music and prayer at the water ceramony that my face has matured, I look different. As above, so below. It is true, this stuff works.
each weekend at the college is more than worthwhile. they are quickenings. they lead to new and deeper realizations. this weekend may have been the most fulfilling .the ocassion was the Peace Conference coinciding with the Mayan Calendar Consciousness Convergence. I set the intent and ideal of greater inner and interconnectedness for the purpose of becoming more peaceful, more integrated, a more whole functioning Self. My activity was to pay attention, to be in the present moment and accepting of it, receiving and giving, being aware of the in breath and outbreath of all around me.
The Conscious Convergence, as it turns out, is all about unity and connectedness. I feel fortunate to have chosen this time to be on the planet and to have manuvered my way or otherwise guided to be a stude at SOM. I say guided because some decisions in my life have not been totally conscious yet they have led me to opportunites greater than I had ever imagined in terms of physical and spiritual.
My particular learning this weekend had to do with developing; realizing is more accurate, deeper levels of acceptance, patience, perseverance and compassion. These thoughts and understandings kept playing themselves out in personal interaction whether the activity was pulling weeds in the organic gardens or harvesting fruit in the organic orchard or collaborating on the Universal Peace Proclamation article. In each case, the reoccuring theme was to accept the present moment, understanding that to do so benefited mySelf and also contributed the well being of the whole. At times this required patience allwoing for compassion for myself and others. I have learned to bring each experience back to myself and look at the benefit, to see how I could use the experience to go deeper with my understanding of Self.
I am a college student, so my role this weekend was a little different than the ambassadors that came here from the centers. Even that said, I am different from this weekend. I understand it on a consciousness level, which was the essence of this weekend. There is much that is culminating within me and it is strong and it is powerful. It is divine and needed. I am breathing in the upliftment, the change. I am so grateful.
I was asked to sing, solo, the song “Welcome Love.” This brought a huge movement through- a puzzle piece to a grand awareness within myself that came at the perfect time. I recognized that I wanted to sing selflessly. I needed to connect to light, gather the audience within it and send it up and throughout the world. Being asked to sing this song was a huge honor to me. I recognized the divinity and the responsibility I had to created a strong connection inwardly. I am grateful for having practiced concentration and spiritual practices for a couple years now because I observed how my ego responded to having been asked this. I saw a doubt enter my mind “Will I be able to sustain the connection?” This is my karma. Much of what I am learning now is how much I approach life physically- the likes and dislikes, the good the bad, and the thinking that I only have an influence when I am in peoples presence. The truth is that my influence spans beyond my physical existence. My influence is energetic. This includes my thoughts, my attitudes, my actions, and choices and whole approach to living in this world at this time.
This part of the Covenant stands out in my mind,
” … the capacity to sustain peace eludes us. To transcend the limits of our own thinking we mush acknowledge that peace is more then the cessation of conflict. For peace to move across the face of the earth we must realize… that ALL PEOPLE DESIRE PEACE”
This is very important— all people desire peace. It becomes even more important for me to embody peace. I see peace as agreement throughout all levels of mind- conscious mind in integrity with soul and spirit. It is freedom from the internal fight and the fight of choice. I need to choose to take action that will be in alignment with my ideal and my vision for the world I want to live- both within myself and the world abroad. It requires a greater degree of mindfulness to even understand what the choices I am making are. Choosing to sing was an important consideration, however it is also the smaller choice like addressing a subtle thought of anger or being on time for class that begins to release the fight to cause agreement in the mind. When I choose to be late to something it causes a disturbance- no matter how much it is recognized by my conscious mind, it is a disturbance that causes conflict internally. Agreement and integrity promotes the consciousness of peace.
My life is my choice just as it is for all of us. Peace already exist. Peace exists in every moment. It is our choice to accept this. Are you choosing peace now?
My weekend was one of the most peaceful and connected that I have ever experienced. I have been focusing on expanding peace in my life through stilling my mind. When I still my mind, I receive people more fully. The more I receive, the more connected I am and the more I know what to give. This weekend, I experienced a deeper level of giving and receiving than I ever had before. I felt a balanced, blending, dance of energies that opened my heart and opened my mind to new possibilities. I am very grateful for the wonderful learning opportunities that the School of Metaphysics offers and the beautiful souls that I have the pleasure to create with.
This weekend was an experience of unity and love and peace. Everyone’s consciousness was so high and centered on our common ideal of peace within ourSelves and in our world. I am grateful and humbled to be a part of this and to give leadership and direction for the School of Metaphysics’ movement forward this year as a Peace Ambassador. Love to all.
It is incredible how close we can be from pure inner peace and yet how far. That the Kingdom of Heaven is truly within you and so close, yet we tend to stay so far. Spending this time at the College of Metaphysics has empowered me in a way I have never experienced. Just with the knowledge that inner peace can be achieved, that goodness is actually the common denominator and that every single person on this planet actually desires peace. What a great blessing I have received from the College of Metaphysics and all the people that have, out of their own free will, chosen to dedicate their life to enlightenment of themselves and the planet. I see God in everything now, with my ego, my fears, my doubts all put to the side. Peace is power – how beautiful to feel empowered in peace. Thank you, forever grateful.
